Chef's Table

Nestled unassumingly on a side street in downtown Waynesville, North Carolina, the legendary Chef’s Table restaurant is a celebration of the best wine country cuisine in the Great Smoky Mountains.  The restaurant started with the concept of cooking with fresh, seasonal, local foods and produce—pairing these exceptional recipes with wines from around the world.  Today the restaurant continues this fresh/local philosophy and remains an icon of gourmet dining, with Executive Chef/Owner Josh Monroe continuing the high standards for cooking excellence that locals and guests alike enjoy.
